Creep Resistance in High-Temperature Valves for Power Generation
Date:2025-03-05
Creep resistance is critical for valves in supercritical and ultra-supercritical power plants. Factors affecting valve longevity under high temperatures include:
-
Material Selection: C12A (9Cr-1Mo-V) steel withstands prolonged exposure to 600°C+.
-
Microstructural Stability: Controlled grain growth prevents premature deformation.
-
Optimized Valve Design: Thick-walled components and reinforced seats minimize creep deformation in steam turbine control valves.
